Oh my god, I'm so happy that they use "Mulder and Scully." SO HAPPY. It's like they don't even have first names anymore. I AM DOWN WITH THAT.
Also, the thing about Chris Carter is that you go in KNOWING that he has syphilis. Your friends even warn you. "Chris Carter? Really? Watch out for the syphilis." And you act all angry and disgusted but then you show up anyway and think, "Well, maybe the dementia will make it even better one day."
There are very few fandoms that I'm this easy for. Usually I make the canon work, but TXF... just something about it, man.
The whole thing where Callum Keith Rennie was gay-married to that other duded and was trying to get him a lady's body was just... weird
In all seriousness, I was like, "BUT HE WON'T HAVE A PENIS IF YOU GET HIM A WOMAN'S BODY. AND THEN WHAT? WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR SEX LIFE WITH YOUR HUSBAND? Maybe he'll have to get a sex change after getting his new body? Because clearly he won't be happy as a woman if he was a man. Unless he wanted a sex change to begin with, and he's a MTF trangendered person. Which would then make it fine. But--"
Hahaha, yeah, that's definitely way too much thinking for something written by Chris "I make it up as I go along" Carter XD You kind of have to turn your brain off when you watch TXF.

I got hooked on X-Files a little late in the game (end of 4th season), but fortunately FX started airing the episodes 5 days a week starting with the pilot that summer and I got caught up quickly. And I loved the show *so* much that I stuck it out and watched the series to the very end. I think this movie is for X-Files fans. I don't know if someone that didn't watch the show would be interested in the lives of these two former FBI agents. And so much of this movie is their story - individually and together - and I loved it!
And the fans MUST MUST MUST stay through the end of the credits. :)

Yeah, I'd agree that it's really for the fans. I mean, as I said above, I freaking loved it, but as a movie, it's pretty convoluted and terrible. YET I WOULD WATCH IT ANOTHER FIVE TIMES. Or, maybe once more in theatres, and then buy the DVD so I can fast-forward through the confusing/boring parts.
I was SUCH a sucker for the ending credits. Well, actually, at first I was like, "Wait, why is the background water? It was just ice. What does water have to do with anything? Wait is that... OH MY GOD IT'S A BOAT OH MY GOD LOOK AT THEM OH MY GOD FLAILY HANDS."
I'm really easy to please when it comes to Mulder and Scully. Baby's first OTP and all. XD
During the credits, really. The icey stuff in the background eventually turns into water, and the camera follows the water until you see an island and a little boat going towards it and Mulder is rowing the boat and Scully is lounging in it and it is probably the most adorable thing ever.
If you happen to be seeing another movie, you should pop into the theatre during the credits and see if you can catch it, if only to wave your hands and make high pitched noises (or whatever your equivalent is. I hate to admit it, but those are actually the things I do when things make me gleeful.)

AWESOME. I don't even watch this show, nor am I invested in the fandom, but I love that they use "Mulder" and "Scully". It's canon!
Glad Chris Carter gave you a good ride, even with the syphilis!
